Perl: A Simple CGI Program

A Simple CGI Program

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; # note the blank line

print "<HTML>\n";

print "Hello world!\n";

print "</HTML>\n";

1. Put it in a cgi directory

2. Chmod 755 myprog.pl

3. Make sure the program runs by itself first (./myprog.pl)

This is the CGI equivalent of Hello World
